th_get_pathname, th_get_uid, th_get_gid, th_get_mode, th_get_crc, th_get_size, th_get_mtime, th_get_devmajor, th_get_devminor, th_get_linkname - extract individual fields of a tar header

TH_ISREG, TH_ISLNK, TH_ISSYM, TH_ISCHR, TH_ISBLK, TH_ISDIR, TH_ISFIFO - determine what kind of file a tar header refers to

TH_ISLONGNAME, TH_ISLONGLINK - determine whether the GNU extensions are in use

This man page documents version 1.2 of libtar.

The *th_get_**() functions extract individual fields from the current tar header associated with the TAR handle t.

The *TH_IS**() macros are used to evaluate what kind of file is pointed to by the current tar header associated with the TAR handle t.

The TH_ISLONGNAME*() and *TH_ISLONGLINK*() macros evaluate whether or not the GNU extensions are used by the current tar header associated with the TAR handle t. This is only relevant if the *TAR_GNU option was used when /tar_open/() was called.
